Off With Their Heads!



To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Commissioner Ludlow is man not TO be tri1ed
with. He hao decided to build the improved
Bladensburg road with an eight-inch crown. A
large number of civilian plebeians especially
interested in the improvement, who had worked
for the appropriation and would use the road,
humbly petitioned for an eighteen-inch crown,
and sent q representative to argue their case
before the Commissioners. After the hearing
1t pleased the Engineer Commissioner 70
smile upon his humble petitioners, and to
issue an edict favoring eighteen-inch
crown. But royal favor made the plebeian
Is reported as saying, that he had ''doUaed the
engineers on every point" Just think or 1t! He,
the army Commissioner, 'dOwned.' IL makes the
blood boil! Failing to find a newspaper man
handy to kick down stairs as proxy for the Offend
ing representative Aforesaid the Commissioner
s'dOwned" himself In his wrath and penned a revo-
calion OF his concession" or condeScensiOn. Dill
gent search among the obsolete IN anuScr1pt laws
OF the District failed to disclose any that would
justify the immediate execution or the object OF
his anger, but he beheads him in effigy
by SlaShing OF ten inches from the crown
OF the Bladensburg road. And the un-

for the country people and others who rely upon
the Bladensburg road that the representative
aforesaid was not reported as saying that he had
spanked Ludlow, instead OF the harmless state
ment that he had ''downed the engineers" for In
that event the Commissioner would probably
have discovered reasonable revenge In sinking
the Bladensburg road twenty feet under ground.
